actually a 5 gallon bucket and a sump pump tied to a garden hose. Usually doesn't get All the water, but it does get most of it.

Harbor Freight has an awesome transfer pump on sale every now and then.Rick showed it to me.
Thing put's out more GPM's than most homes,fricken fire hose.Drain those tanks in a minute or two.
Just need to be sure you use a pickup hose that doesn't collapse.

You know, I never thought about a transfer pump. I have one on my truck that just needs a whip. we tried to use it on a fountain that needed a non submersible pump, but the freight train noise it made was a no go for the customer.

what kind of house wouldn't collapse? maybe just one made from wirsbo with hose connections attatched?

Your going to have to get me a diagram of a house framed with wirsbo before I can speculate.

Using a small air compressor is one thing, as most can hardly pump up over 100 psi, don't over pressurize the tank with that 500 psi regulator,
I remember some one getting grief for using a HW tank as a reserve tank on a air compressor a year or so ago,
